"Skyfall," the new James Bond movie, already opened in England and other overseas markets -- and it received an enthusiastic reception, to say the least. Unfortunately, we here in the States are still waiting for its Nov. 9 arrival on this side of the pond. I guess that's what we get for revolting.

To help you kill the time until then, here's a collection of publicity stills from the film -- provided courtesy of Columbia Pictures -- showing Daniel Craig back in action as Bond, as well shots of Judi Dench as M, and Ben Whishaw as Q. (Find gallery at right.) You can also always rewatch the "Skyfall" trailer here.

"Skyfall" is the 23rd big-screen Bond adventure, arriving in the 50th anniversary year of the film franchise. In addition to Craig, Dench and Whishaw, it stars Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Naomie Harris and -- as the latest Bond villain -- Javier Bardem. Sam Mendes ("American Beauty," "Revolutionary Road") directs, from a script by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan in which Bond finds his loyalties to M put to the test just as MI6 comes under attack.

"Skyfall" is rated PG-13 for intense violent sequences throughout, some sexuality, language and smoking. It opens in wide release in the United States on Nov. 9.
